Bradly Beal, 50 mil to score 9 points in 31 mins in an elim game (Kblaze get in here

[QUOTE=Norcaliblunt;14904873]It was a win now move that didn’t work out this year. Oh well. As a fan who gives a shit about luxury taxes? Lmao.

Phoenix has had way more bleak looking situations in their history than this one.[/QUOTE]

You are missing the point. The fans don’t give a shit about how much luxury tax the owners pay or how much some player is making, once again it’s about team building. The suns fans care that they handicapped themself for years and years to come with irresponsible moves.

Phoenix has had way way way way way waaaaaaay worse scenarios throughout their history.

This isn’t some chicken little sky is falling crap.

They might be in a tight spot but this the Suns we are talking about. Their history is riddled with bullshit should’ve would’ve could’ve.

I’m not following you.

Just because a team has had previous history with making bad moves…it should excuse the current ownership from any criticism?

This is a really bizarre take.

It’s a glass half full or half empty take. It’s all how you wanna look at it, and for Suns fans who have seen real dysfunction this scenario isn’t as drastic as you are implying.

What would the Suns look like now if they hadn’t made those deals?

They would have overpaid for Cam Johnson and be on the verge of overpaying Bridges. So the roster would be overpaid Booker, overpaid Ayton, overpaid Johnson, and flirting with having to overpay Bridges.

That team doesn’t win anything either.

Edit they would have draft picks but phoenix draft history for 10 plus years has been atrocious.

they aren’t even in a tight spot. Absolutely nothing about this situation is even worth a deep dive. This is 2024. In the 2026 summer they’re under the cap. And that’s after paying Alan. And that’s assuming they don’t blow it up and send KD wherever he wants to finish his career.

The NBA changes so much they can do whatever they want these days. You listen to that phone call where Ishaba(whatever) was talking about how much he hates Dan Gilbert? Turns out they’re giant rivals in the mortgage world and he just hates the guy personally. I wouldn’t be shocked if he finds some kind of backroom deal way to get Donovan Mitchell. So much nonsense goes down in this league. I can’t rule anything out. An Owner who has limitless money and just doesn’t give a ****?

if you don’t care about money, none of this shit matters. The cap is going to jump so significantly is going to take most of these teams out of the luxury tax. We’ve been watching this shit happen for decades of these new right deals being signed and it’s going to happen again and people continue to be surprised. maybe this is the last time it keeps going up but it’s absolutely going to go up. The built-in caps smoothing is the only reason they won’t jump up by 30 or 40 million at once. These owners know exactly how much money is on the table and they don’t give a roasted ****.

something ridiculous is going to happen like Durant or Beal being traded as an expiring deal for Zion When he tell New Orleans he won’t resign and they go full rebuild after sending Ingram to the Knicks. The days of a team being stuck and having to wait five years to change direction are long past.

Yup I agree with you. You have illustrated plenty of times that it’s a new day and age with contacts, TV deals, and no team is stuck forever.

It’s like these weird conservative nerds always trippin on debt. lol.

Celtics big 3 was the exception... not the rule.

Unless the add is Lebron James who else had success building a team like this? Nets did not. Knicks nope. Clippers might be the best case scenario with moderate levels of success.

[QUOTE=AlternativeAcc.;14904866]The gaslighting is pretty funny. Nothing you say has any merit or truth, but we know you live in a shithole. We know you're broke. We know you report people. We know you talk to yourself on alts. We know you're a phycho loser who spends 24/7 on here. These are just facts.

So you going off on tangents and lying about shit just proves how seriously you take all of this shit. You're a desperate little worm hiding in a closet sized apartment.[/QUOTE]

Well that's part of being a GM, no? They're in the 2nd apron because of Bradley Beal :oldlol:

ooof

only knowledge can be collateral, yet people continuously accept information as an acceptable payment.

a world where cause and effect is totally out of whack.

According to his logic, that doesn’t matter because previous management have screwed the suns up in the past? lol

I don’t get it

Btw Austin Reeves scored more points in the 4th tonight than Beal did all game last night

He’s getting paid a cool 13 mil instead of 50 too.

lol

you do understand that sports teams, inherently aren't suppose to make money, right.

There's so many shot-makers in the league now. If you had to overpay a role player you'd overpay a 3&D wing like the OG Anunoby type. Beal is not a good defender and him and Booker & KD have overlapping skillsets. Defending Beal's contract and the trade is just ****ing stupid. He's not worth the money he's making to any team that's serious about winning.

Beal is a career loser, always choked in close games for the wizz aswel.

Unreliable, always injured and on an insane contract. Knew it was a disaster when the suns traded for him :oldlol:
Good luck getting rid of him now
